Wat Pho

More than 90% of Thai people are practicing Buddhists. Most Thais visit a Buddhist temple (Wat) to worship and meditate. Wat Pho is famous for its huge "Reclining Buddha" and also for its Thai Massage School. I got a half-hour massage while I was here - it felt great!



The Great Reclining Buddha doing what he does best -- relaxing in contentment

No wonder everybody in Thailand is so chilled out - they all try to be more like *this* guy!
  








This style of architecture is found on every Wat that I saw


 
Some Thai traditions came from ancient India, where yoga was first practiced
